It would be nice to have some kind organiser on there to arrange the games and videos you've downloaded into a particullar order.

Umm, how about some sort of playlist support? The organising of folders is a good idea, I have all my music stored on my external HDD and I get bored waiting for it to load up.

Obviously more codec support, but that's not going to happen, nor is an embeded version of Firefox or Opera, but either would be very nice thank you, I mean you can't even post on the official PS3 forum using the PS3 browser!!

I dont think the new firmware will bring just those options or even some of those.
